Screen room design is often flexible. Considerations include available space and structural limitations.

• This is a common request, as screen rooms are often added to existing structures.
• The existing structure's ability to support the new screen room is crucial.
• When one of our estimators meets with you he will discuss the integrity of your existing structure in depth and make specific recommendations.

• It depends on exactly what is being built and where your home is located.
• In most locations, a permit is required to ensure the structure meets local building codes and regulations.
• Checking with your local building authority is important to confirm the specific requirements in your area.
• Hiring a contractor familiar with the local permit process can simplify this step.

• Homeowners often seek seamless integration with their home's existing design.
• Contractors can often match roof materials and styles to achieve this.

• The installation timeline depends on the project's size, complexity, and permitting requirements.
• Screening in an existing patio cover will only take one day.
• A standard enclosure with a new concrete slab and a new patio cover might take around 3-4 weeks from approval to completion.
• Specific construction times can vary depending on the project specifics.

The total construction costs for a new screen room are determined by several critical factors, primarily size and materials. 

Below is a comprehensive breakdown of the most significant components and their associated costs.

Concrete 

The standard cost for concrete installation when building a new covered patio in Houston is approximately $18.00 per square foot, with a minimum project expenditure of $2,500.00 for a basic "broom finish" slab. Should you choose to upgrade to stamped and stained concrete, expect an average cost of $22.00 per square foot.

Overhead Patio Cover 

The expense for an overhead patio cover, utilizing insulated aluminum roof panels, is defined at $38.00 per square foot.

Screen Walls 

The installation costs for screen room walls are around $140.00 per linear foot, based on an 8-foot wall height, and regular 18x14 screen material, excluding kickplates. Screen upgrades like TuffScreen will add additional cost. Including a kickplate raises the price to $160.00 per linear foot.

Number of Screen Doors 

Each standard 36" screen door is priced at $325.00.

Electrical Components

For homeowners desiring ceiling fans, our installation services are offered at $350.00 each. Additionally, we provide installation for features such as wall plugs and recessed LED lighting.

Roofing Shingles

Although roofing shingles are not a necessity for this construction type, they may be included at an additional cost of $9.00 per square foot upon request.

Example

The total expenditure for constructing a 12x20 concrete slab, accompanied by a 12x20 aluminum patio cover in Houston, featuring 8-foot-tall screen walls, one screen door, and one ceiling fan will result in a total cost of $14,150.00.

Building a screen room is a great way to create a comfortable outdoor space while keeping insects and debris out. Here’s a simplified overview of the process:

1. Planning & Design – Determine the size, location, and materials for your screen room. Decide whether it will be attached to an existing structure or built as a standalone enclosure.
2. Foundation & Framing – Install a sturdy foundation if needed, then construct the frame using aluminum, wood, or vinyl to support the screens.
3. Screen Installation – Secure fiberglass, aluminum, or polyester screens to the frame using spline and a roller tool, ensuring a tight fit to prevent sagging.
4. Doors & Additional Features – Install a screen door for easy access and consider adding ceiling fans, lighting, or solar screens for comfort and functionality.
5. Finishing Touches – Inspect the structure for gaps or loose screens, apply weatherproofing if necessary, and enjoy your new screened-in space!
